Electric Vehicles

Do you have an electric vehicle?

UB is proud to be partnering with National Grid and ChargePoint
to offer electric vehicle owners three new locations to charge
their vehicles. To better serve those with electric vehicles, we
are collecting data on the types of vehicles that will be using the
stations.

How to use the chargers

There are several ways to use the charging stations at no cost
to you:

· If you
already have a ChargePoint card, use it here!

· If you
do not have a Chargepoint card, you can:

o Call the 1-800 number on the station. The
customer service representative will open the station for you and
then will offer to send you a free ChargePoint card in the mail.
Once you receive the ChargePoint card, you can then register it and
it will be ready to use!

o Visit www.chargepoint.com and
order a card. One will be sent to you.

o Visit the Fronczak parking booth between 7am
and 3pm to pickup a free ChargePoint Card.

o Download the ChargePoint app and activate
the app when at a charger.

Policy

There is no charge for using the ChargePoint station at
UB.

In order to allow as many vehicles to charge as possible,
vehicles can remain in each charge spot for no longer than 3
hours while charging.

All vehicles parked in a charge spot without being plugged in
will be ticketed.

Why electric vehicles?

As a signatory of the American College and University Presidents
Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), the University at Buffalo is committed
to achieving climate neutrality by 2030.

Our Climate Action Plan recommends a number of strategies for
reducing our institutional carbon footpring over time. Addressing
the impact of our transportation system is a key component of the
plan, and these electric charging stations will help us reach our
climate neutrality goal. Switching some of our nation’s gas
powered vehicle fleet to electric and natural gas will ultimately
allow us to be more energy independent.
